What is recorded here

Childrens Burial Ground stands in County Mayo, Ireland, a quiet place where young lives ended before they could leave marks elsewhere. The grass may hide rows of small bodies, each one a family's grief made flesh and soil. To walk past it is to remind yourself that childhood does not guarantee duration, and that love often has no choice but to dig holes deeper than it understands.
